Infineon opens new backend manufacturing hub in Thailand adding resilient capacity for future growth

New backend manufacturing hub strengthens and further diversifies Infineon's global production network Strategic investment reinforces Thailand's growing semiconductor ecosystem and talent development, creating up to 1,000 highly skilled jobs Designed for phased expansion, Bangkok has the potential to become one of Infineon's largest backend manufacturing sites over timeInfineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX) (OTCQX: IFNNY) officially inaugurated its new backend manufacturing site in Bangkok, Samut Prakan, together with Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister of Thailand and Alexander Gorski, Chief Operations Officer of Infineon Technologies. The site strengthens and further diversifies the company's global manufacturing footprint while adding capacity for future growth. Strategically located in the heart of Southeast Asia, the site reinforces Infineon's ability to serve customers worldwide at a time when long-term semiconductor demand continues to grow, driven by digitalization, electrification and the energy transition.Built for future growth, the facility can scale up to five modules, giving Bangkok the potential to become one of Infineon's largest backend manufacturing sites over time. As a strategic addition to Infineon's globally diversified manufacturing network, the site complements the ongoing expansion of Infineon's frontend manufacturing capacities."What makes Bangkok such an important addition to our global manufacturing footprint is its unique combination of location and growth potential," says Alexander Gorski, Chief Operations Officer of Infineon Technologies. "We are establishing a new hub in the heart of Southeast Asia, surrounded by a fast-growing ecosystem and with excellent access to global logistics. This helps us further diversify our manufacturing network across regions and serve our customers with resilient capacity and great flexibility. We have built the Bangkok site with the future in mind. Starting with Module A, the site can grow to up to five modules over time, giving us unique scalability to support future growth.""Infineon's new backend manufacturing site in Bangkok, Samut Prakan, is a strong vote of confidence in Thailand's future as a leading semiconductor location," says Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister of Thailand. "Together, we are advancing Thailand's semiconductor ecosystem, strengthening our role in the global value chain and creating new opportunities and highly skilled jobs for future generations. We welcome Infineon's long-term engagement and look forward to deepening our cooperation."A long-term investment in Thailand's semiconductor ecosystemThailand's commitment to building a strong semiconductor ecosystem, guided by its national technology strategy, is creating new momentum for advanced manufacturing and technology-driven growth in the region. Thailand offers excellent connections throughout Southeast Asia, proximity to key customer markets and a long-standing semiconductor manufacturing heritage. The Bangkok site builds on local expertise, established partnerships and a highly skilled workforce while contributing to the further development of Thailand's flourishing semiconductor ecosystem.The site currently employs around 350 people and is expected to grow to approximately 1,000 employees as the first building (Module A) ramps up. Beyond manufacturing, Infineon supports talent development through collaborations with universities, educational institutions and industry partners.Expanding capabilities for complex, high-value semiconductor solutionsThe Bangkok site combines advanced automation, scalable design and a digital manufacturing backbone to support efficient, stable and high-quality production at scale. Built as a greenfield site, the facility leverages proven expertise from Infineon's established backend manufacturing locations while providing the flexibility to adapt to evolving customer requirements, new technologies and large production volumes.Equipped with advanced cleanroom, assembly and test capabilities, all supported by a high level of automation, the Bangkok site covers the full spectrum of semiconductor backend processes as well as wafer test. This unique combination strengthens its role within Infineon's manufacturing network and enables increasingly complex, high-value semiconductor solutions for applications across the automotive, industrial and energy infrastructure, contributing directly to technologies that drive electrification, energy efficiency and digitalization worldwide.Sustainability built in from the ground upThe Bangkok site runs on 100 percent green electricity, incorporates water recycling and rainwater collection systems and is equipped with solar modules that generate renewable energy on site. Together, these measures support resource-efficient manufacturing and contribute to Infineon's strategic priority of continuously reducing its carbon footprint across the entire value chain.For more information about the new backend manufacturing site in Bangkok, please visit: https://www.infineon.com/careers/our-locations/thailand#highlightsFor press pictures, please visit:https://brandportal.infineon.com/file-exchange/list/287a46dc81f8ee3793598fc9d8001829For footage, please visit:https://brandportal.infineon.com/file-exchange/list/614a2724ddb32ff277721f8e913fcf9f
